Dear Valued Customers,
We are excited to announce the grand opening of our new, larger, and easily accessible Kansas City Intermodal Terminal (KCIT) in mid-July. This modern facility can double Union Pacific’s capacity in the heart of the Midwest, boosting our customer’s ability to take trucks off the nation’s highway, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
KCIT will be located in Kansas City, Kansas, adjacent to our Armourdale yard. This facility will offer seamless access to Hwy 69, I-435, and I-70, and fast, truck-competitive transit times along Union Pacific’s West Coast-Chicago corridor.
KCIT features advanced gate technology, stacked international and wheeled domestic container operations, two new paved parking lots, and additional working tracks for peak efficiency. With widened roads and automated gates, we’re enhancing driver experience, boosting sustainability, and reducing highway congestion.
Stay tuned for transition details in mid-June, including gate times and billing information. For questions, contact your Premium Team sales representative.
Thank you for choosing Union Pacific!
Sincerely,
Premium Marketing & Sales
